respect_n of_o the_o metaphor_n the_o apostle_n alude_v unto_o it_o be_v take_v from_o the_o sting_n of_o a_o serpent_n and_o so_o sin_n be_v a_o sting_n in_o a_o double_a respect_n first_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o fearfulness_n and_o then_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o hurtfulness_n of_o it_o first_o fearful_a in_o respect_n of_o the_o fearfulness_n it_o be_v sin_n that_o make_v death_n fearful_a to_o a_o man_n indeed_o i_o confess_v that_o in_o the_o best_a christian_n though_o christ_n have_v pull_v out_o the_o sting_n of_o death_n yet_o there_o be_v natural_a grudge_n and_o

it_o come_v in_o a_o complete_a armour_n as_o it_o do_v against_o a_o person_n in_o who_o sin_n remain_v in_o its_o full_a power_n it_o must_v needs_o then_o be_v terrible_a see_v the_o difference_n between_o two_o person_n the_o one_o be_v afraid_a of_o every_o one_o he_o meet_v the_o other_o be_v not_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n the_o one_o be_v great_o indebt_v and_o engage_v the_o other_o be_v free_a so_o it_o be_v with_o a_o christian_a and_o another_o man_n the_o one_o can_v hear_v of_o death_n but_o his_o heart_n break_v he_o be_v full_a of_o fear_n and_o horror_n the_o other_o

the_o serpent_n be_v a_o hurtful_a thing_n hurtful_a it_o poison_v the_o vital_a part_n it_o take_v away_o life_n itself_o all_o the_o evil_a that_o come_v to_o we_o by_o death_n come_v by_o sin_n

why_o complain_v thou_o of_o the_o misery_n in_o hell_n rather_o labour_v to_o break_v off_o thy_o sin_n that_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o that_o misery_n all_o the_o hurtful_a quality_n and_o

of_o death_n let_v it_o be_v our_o wisdom_n to_o get_v this_o sting_n pull_v out_o in_o the_o time_n of_o our_o life_n oh_o that_o this_o people_n be_v wise_a faith_n god_n then_o will_v they_o

some_o other_o of_o our_o enemy_n can_v be_v subdue_v but_o by_o their_o presence_n but_o let_v i_o tell_v you_o this_o death_n be_v such_o a_o enemy_n as_o be_v never_o subdue_v but_o by_o his_o

wring_v tear_n from_o a_o hard_a heart_n but_o the_o scripture_n make_v report_n of_o death_n not_o only_o tolerable_a and_o easy_a but_o comfortable_a and_o gladsome_a to_o a_o christian_a heart_n for_o it_o show_v by_o who_o and_o by_o what_o mean_v we_o may_v infallible_o and_o certain_o escape_v all_o the_o hurt_n that_o death_n can_v do_v nay_o by_o what_o mean_v we_o may_v order_v

in_o
i_o shall_v never_o see_v death_n he_o mean_v to_o hurt_v himself_o again_o this_o be_v the_o message_n that_o god_n have_v give_v we_o life_n and_o this_o life_n be_v in_o his_o son_n and_o he_o that_o have_v the_o son_n have_v life_n our_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n come_v into_o the_o world_n as_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o that_o he_o may_v destroy_v he_o that_o have_v the_o power_n of_o death_n and_o so_o set_v they_o at_o liberty_n that_o all_o their_o life-time_n be_v in_o bondage_n under_o the_o fear_n of_o death_n and_o saint_n john_n say_v he_o come_v into_o the_o world_n to_o destroy_v the_o work_n of_o the_o devil_n which_o be_v sin_n and_o death_n so_o that_o now_o death_n have_v lose_v his_o sting_n because_o christ_n overcome_v it_o in_o die_v he_o slay_v death_n and_o be_v the_o death_n of_o death_n this_o man_n christ_n god_n and_o man_n he_o offer_v himself_o to_o his_o father_n as_o a_o sacrifice_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n and_o die_v a_o curse_a death_n upon_o the_o cross_n so_o satisfy_v the_o justice_n of_o god_n on_o the_o behalf_n of_o all_o those_o that_o be_v in_o he_o that_o death_n can_v do_v they_o no_o harm_n it_o be_v nothnig_v else_o but_o a_o passage_n to_o eternal_a blessedness_n oh_o bless_a be_v the_o name_n of_o god_n that_o have_v be_v please_v to_o provide_v so_o perfect_a a_o remedy_n against_o so_o mortal_a a_o

and_o so_o i_o have_v do_v with_o the_o first_o point_n the_o second_o be_v enemy_n that_o death_n be_v a_o enemy_n therefore_o the_o apostle_n paul_n tell_v we_o of_o a_o certain_a sting_n it_o have_v oh_o death_n where_o be_v thy_o sting_n it_o be_v a_o arm_a enemy_n it_o come_v as_o a_o serpent_n with_o a_o sting_n that_o enter_v into_o a_o man_n soul_n put_v it_o to_o exream_v

it_o devide_v child_n from_o parent_n and_o parent_n from_o child_n all_o the_o benefit_n that_o this_o life_n afford_v death_n strip_v a_o man_n of_o they_o all_o and_o turn_v he_o naked_a out_o of_o

so_o he_o be_v a_o enemy_n for_o he_o spoil_v we_o of_o whatsoever_o be_v desirable_a in_o this_o life_n but_o he_o be_v a_o enemy_n also_o in_o inflict_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o ill_a upon_o man_n man_n so_o death_n bring_v torment_n for_o the_o present_a it_o be_v a_o terrible_a thing_n to_o wrestle_v with_o it_o make_v a_o man_n bleed_v and_o sweat_v as_o it_o be_v no_o man_n can_v

this_o question_n may_v be_v demand_v quest_n but_o by_o what_o mean_v now_o do_v christ_n convey_v this_o spiritual_a life_n to_o his_o child_n and_o how_o shall_v i_o get_v to_o be_v partaker_n of_o this_o resurrection_n by_o what_o mean_n shall_v i_o attain_v this_o first_o resurrection_n to_o this_o spiritual_a life_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v brief_o that_o by_o the_o same_o mean_n by_o which_o christ_n work_v faith_n in_o the_o soul_n answ_n by_o the_o same_o mean_n he_o raise_v a_o sinner_n to_o life_n for_o he_o that_o believe_v live_v and_o he_o that_o live_v believe_v he_o that_o believe_v be_v raise_v to_o life_n therefore_o by_o the_o same_o mean_n that_o christ_n work_v faith_n by_o the_o same_o mean_n he_o raise_v a_o sinner_n to_o life_n therefore_o the_o outward_a mean_n be_v the_o preach_v of_o the_o word_n the_o inward_a the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n by_o such_o mean_n as_o christ_n will_v raise_v the_o body_n of_o the_o dead_a at_o the_o last_o day_n by_o the_o like_a mean_n he_o now_o raise_v the_o soul_n of_o those_o that_o be_v dead_a in_o sin_n now_o christ_n will_v raise_v the_o body_n that_o be_v now_o dead_a in_o the_o grave_a at_o the_o last_o day_n first_o by_o his_o voice_n john_n 5.28.29_o and_o by_o the_o sound_n of_o the_o trumpet_n 1_o cor._n 15.52_o the_o trump_n shall_v sound_v and_o the_o dead_a shall_v be_v raise_v incorruptible_a and_o he_o shall_v raise_v they_o by_o his_o quicken_a spirit_n so_o by_o the_o like_a mean_n christ_n now_o raise_v our_o soul_n that_o be_v dead_a in_o sin_n therefore_o if_o thou_o desire_v to_o be_v raise_v out_o of_o the_o grave_n of_o sin_n let_v i_o counsel_v thou_o first_o to_o attend_v diligent_o to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n upon_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n the_o word_n of_o christ_n be_v a_o quicken_a word_n as_o christ_n say_v joh._n 3.63_o my_o word_n be_v spirit_n and_o life_n the_o voice_n of_o christ_n be_v a_o quicken_a voice_n as_o christ_n by_o his_o voice_n raise_v lazarus_n out_o of_o his_o grave_n when_o christ_n say_v to_o lazarus_n come_v forth_o present_o lazarus_n quicken_v and_o come_v forth_o so_o the_o voice_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n have_v a_o quicken_a power_n to_o raise_v sinner_n from_o the_o death_n of_o sin_n therefore_o when_o the_o minister_n cry_v aloud_o and_o the_o prophet_n lift_v up_o their_o voice_n as_o a_o trumpet_n then_o hearken_v second_o be_v frequent_a and_o fervent_a in_o prayer_n for_o the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n and_o of_o christ_n before_o thou_o hear_v pray_v and_o after_o thou_o have_v hear_v pray_v that_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n may_v accompany_v his_o word_n that_o so_o this_o may_v be_v a_o mean_n to_o awaken_v and_o to_o quicken_v thou_o out_o of_o thy_o natural_a estate_n and_o to_o raise_v thou_o out_o of_o the_o death_n of_o sin_n thou_o must_v pray_v to_o god_n to_o give_v thou_o a_o hear_n ear_n and_o a_o believe_a heart_n that_o so_o the_o sound_n of_o the_o word_n may_v not_o be_v as_o the_o sound_n of_o a_o trumpet_n in_o the_o ear_n of_o a_o dead_a man_n but_o that_o thou_o may_v be_v quicken_v by_o the_o voice_n of_o christ_n and_o though_o thou_o have_v continue_v a_o long_a time_n in_o thy_o sin_n yet_o be_v not_o altogether_o discourage_v remember_v that_o christ_n be_v able_a to_o raise_v thou_o though_o thou_o have_v continue_v never_o so_o long_o in_o thy_o sin_n for_o he_o that_o be_v able_a to_o raise_v lazarus_n that_o be_v dead_a and_o bury_v and_o now_o stink_v in_o the_o grave_a he_o be_v able_a to_o raise_v up_o thou_o also_o in_o the_o last_o place_n in_o one_o word_n if_o upon_o examination_n thou_o find_v thou_o have_v attain_v to_o this_o spiritual_a resurrection_n than_o here_o be_v a_o ground_n of_o exhortation_n to_o humility_n to_o thankfulness_n here_o be_v a_o ground_n of_o exhortation_n to_o humility_n and_o thankfulness_n to_o join_v they_o both_o together_o because_o they_o usual_o go_v together_o the_o proud_a person_n be_v always_o unthankful_a and_o the_o humble_a man_n be_v always_o a_o thankful_a man_n now_o if_o thou_o have_v attain_v to_o the_o resurrection_n thou_o have_v great_a cause_n to_o be_v humble_a and_o to_o be_v thankful_a first_o thou_o have_v great_a cause_n to_o be_v humble_v because_o thou_o have_v nothing_o but_o that_o thou_o have_v receive_v thou_o have_v great_a cause_n to_o be_v humble_v because_o thou_o put_v not_o any_o hand_n to_o this_o work_n no_o more_o than_o the_o dead_a body_n of_o lazarus_n can_v help_v to_o the_o raise_n of_o he_o no_o more_o than_o a_o creature_n be_v nothing_o can_v help_v to_o its_o own_o creation_n no_o more_o can_v a_o sinner_n help_v forward_o this_o mork_n of_o his_o resurrection_n therefore_o thou_o have_v cause_n to_o be_v humble_v for_o not_o put_v the_o least_o help_a hand_n to_o this_o work_n it_o be_v whole_o supernatural_a therefore_o let_v not_o any_o one_o arrogate_v any_o thing_n to_o
